For the holidays, Cruzzie was gifted President Obama’s children’s book “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters.” (I’m not sure how iI missed this for so long… it was published in 2010.) The book is thoughtful, educational, emotional, and beautiful. The first time I read it to my kids, I cried (yes, I am prone to crying, but still — this book is powerful). When you read the book, you can hear President Obama’s voice — and what an awe inspiring and powerful speaker he is (can we talk about his farewell address? We were in tears. How I will miss him!). This book is a must have for everyone –it is also a perfect gift.
Thank you, Dr. King, and thank you President Obama. (And thank you, Mr. Miranda).
I never knew this existed either… so glad you shared! 🙂

Wow! Thank you for sharing. I had no idea President Obama had written a children’s book. What a great way to honor both legacies of Dr. King and our outgoing President (who I will miss so very much) 🙁
Happy MLK Day! What a great post to write about on a day like today.. thanks so much for sharing
Thank you for the reminder. We will get this soon.
